It is intuitive that China supporting Pakistan militarily is bad for India.
But, this problem can also be viewed as an opportunity from a counter-intuitive point of view.
War and weapons is a continuous cat and mouse game. The one with superior strategies, weapons, technologies, tactics and coordination will win any day.
By engaging and dominating the Pakistan armed forces which use a lot of Chinese weaponry, India has learnt and needs to overpower specific weapons and their features/ advantages.
For example, if one particular weapon like Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air to air missile has a 100km range, India only needs to arm itself to a better range than 100 km to make the enemy weapon ineffective in an air to air combat.
If it has a 50 km Howitzer, we need to have a 60 km Howitzer to not enable it to come in range at all (unless already deployed).
This way, we can choose to make / procure weapons with better features that can beat the all in one competitor (Chinese weapons) rather than trying to dominate over 4 different countries' different weapons and their systems.
